“It’s not about doing extraordinary things, but ordinary things with extraordinary love— that’s how love becomes action, and action leads to transformation.”

Love leads to Education
In the remote village of Moniya, Oyo in Ibadan Nigeria there’s a school that’s different than any other, its classrooms are filled with numerous special and unique people, its students are not ordinary, they smile brighter, they dream bigger, they were born to accomplish extraordinary things.
Love leads to Entrepeneurs
Saint Louis Guanella School has been educating young adults & adults with special needs, and in collaboration with Love Leads to Purpose foundation we have created the movement “Able to be Extraordinary”.
Love Leads to Purpose!
Where we teach young adults to become entrepreneurs, crafting their futures from the ground-up, one product at a time, each creation tells a story and each item allows the school to raise funds to continue to educate future artisans.

MEET THE FOUNDER:
MARIANNA GAUDENZI
Marianna began her journey as a lawyer in Medellín, Colombia—but her heart was called to something deeper. She left behind the courtroom to co-found Service Leads to Purpose, helping vulnerable communities through education and humanitarian aid.
Driven by the belief that love and service can transcend borders, she later founded Love Leads to Purpose, and to fund its mission, Marianna handcrafts products sold in the U.S., using the proceeds for Able to Be Extraordinary—a project supporting young adults with disabilities in Nigeria through education and entrepreneurship. Her mission is simple, yet powerful: to do ordinary things with extraordinary love—and in doing so, transform lives across the world.
We bring humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable communities of Colombia. We are currently providing clean water and food for a school in La Guajira, and we have helped children and single mothers find their purpose with our ongoing humanitarian brigades.
